Without a hitch, but I can't seem to drop anything. The R key is not jivving with me at the moment. 

imagine how awesome it could look with megatexture's uniqueness. 

I just played for about an hour. My only gripe is, yeah, the UI is horseshit. Admittedly I have a very weird FPS config, but there's no excuse for prompts just being completely fucking wrong and having to play "guess the right key" until you get things sorted out.

biff, you might have to do what I did and just go through the entire goddamn keyboard to finally figure out how to drop things (or, in my case, equip them). I was eventually able to do/find everything. I can't seem to find a plaintext control config file anywhere, which sucks donkey balls.

That annoyance aside, I'm loving it. There are a lot of little things I like (e.g. you can jump while crouched/sneaking and not lose the sneaking status), and it seem like they're doing a much better job than Oblivion in basic atmosphere and really setting the mood. Of course snowy wastes as opposed to generic-ish high fantasy helps that a bit.

Also it took me about an hour from the game opening to leaving the cave. Granted, part of that was playing the mystery control game, but the leaked footage had the guy covering the same ground in about 20 minutes, so...yeah. I tend to check every dark corner (and I found a lot of minor extra stuff, which is cool). 

The Q key is doing what the R is supposed to, and yeah -- cannot find a file to fix the matter. No biggie, but still irritating. And yeah again, having a blast otherwise. 

PC Port.
I understand this, but I don't agree with it.
Like take a console game for fools and try to sell it to us, yes nice one. A "PC-Port"; to PORT a GAME - TOO - the PC. to port it TO the PC. That's instersteing. Okay I'll calm down. 

to port it to PC so we can pretend that we have only A B C D buttons. 

How to steal in Skyrim. lol 

 

 

i'm laughing.... but i'm also face-palming HARD. my god. 

Okay gonna order game now. 

a bit confusing though

cannot bind a magic to left hand and weapon to right hand, and how to use perks i got one remained 

and is there some way to disable headbobbing while running/sprinting , its very annoying 'feature' 

To bind, click right- or left-attack on the item or magic (in inventory or magic list). You can also "favorite" something in those lists, and then assign it to a hotkey through the "favorites" menu (default F). It's a little confusing, but works fairly well once you figure it out (and once you figure out the right keys, if you've changed bindings).

To use perks, open up level-up/skills menu, pick the skill tree, then the desired perk. 

Any tips for good visual improvements (especially LOD)? 

Well, there's this:

There's also an actual utility if you look for it...... 

I prefer to try that stuff out individually and see what happens, rather than do it all at once and wonder what went wrong... 

sorry, I mistyped--to bind to right or left hand, you need to use right or left attack in the favorites list after adding the weapon or spell to that list.

The only remaining problem I'm having is that it doesn't appear to be possible to re-equip duel weapons via the hotkey system after switching to a spell or spells. If you switch to something two-handed, like a bow, you can just un-toggle the bow via the hotkey and it will switch back to whatever was equipped previously, but if you switch to a spell, then try to untoggle, it thinks you want that spell in both hands, and you have to actually re-open the favorites menu to force duel-wield back.

I feel for the poor UI guy who was told to jam a hotkey system in the PC port the day before code lock or whatever. :( 

What's a bit confusing at first is that L and R in the menu refer to the left and the right hand, not the mouse buttons which are switched (=left mouse button activates right hand spell). 

Are there any good one-handed weapons by the way? I'd love to have a free hand for spells, but the two-handed weapons are just so much more powerful. 

I'm an ugly orc focusing on H2H weapons and offensive magic.

...and I'm that in Skyrim too.

So far I managed to get the whole of Riverwood to attack me by killing one chicken, saw a fox running underwater, and managed to take (not steal) most of the trader's goods and sell them back to him. On a grumpier note, I also managed to buy steel armour for 870 gold and then accidentally sell it back for about 20p. 

So I earnt enough gold to buy steel armour. Then I visited that Jarl dick and he rewarded me with some steel armour. Twat. At least the bought stuff looks cooler. 

i've kind of noticed this problem with rpgs... like they're trying to satisfy both types of players-- those who only want to get rewards through quests and those who want to collect money to buy the best items.
there should be like a button at the start so you can select what type of reward system you want. :P 

Just give the player a choice of rewards, one of them being cash. So if the offered item(s) are useless to a player, they can still get something good.
